The kinematics and orbital dynamics of the PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 system from 23 yr of pulsar timing

We present an analysis of 23 yr of pulse arrival times for PSR B1259−63. The pulsar is in a binary orbit about its approximately 20 M⊙ companion LS 2883. Our best-fitting timing solution has none of the pulse-number ambiguities that have plagued previous attempts to model the binary orbit. We measur...
